Ski films have always been a staple part of the Newschool skiing movement.
At first, ski films co-existed with the in-season edits that gained popularity here on Newschoolers.
This year, Keegan will be releasing a film project calledSlim to Nonethrough the crowdfunding websitePatreon.
Patreon allows content creators of all sorts to release exclusive content behind a monthly subscription-based paywall for their fans.
Well also be keeping you up to speed as their project evolves.
Keegan:Its all about skiing.
That sounds cheesy as hell.
But really, I just wanted to make a good movie involving my friends and the skiers I love.
I also wanted to raise some money for an organization in Maine to help the little ones get outdoors.
It is a project produced how I like and presented how I want it to be presented.
So, here we are.
And working with Cam is hilarious - the dudes not bad at what he does.
Aside from Keegan, who are the other skiers thatll be involved?
That was fun to punch in.
Cam:The homies are hyped, people want to be a part of the project.
You gotta follow along to find out.
Keegan:the motherland of heaven !
I think Ill let Cam take that one.
Keegan:We have 4 levels.
Each level of support will gain more access and insight, as well as gear and raffle opportunities.
We are making BTS videos, some may feature certain riders, locations, or funny moments.
We are making single edits that will highlight B-Shots that still absolutely slap.
Plus, you know youre directly supporting an athlete, and the creation of their vision.
Who came up with the idea to use Patreon?
As far as I know, few, if any, skiers are releasing work through the platform.
He is a snowboarder I grew up with and a good friend of mine.
I joked and said f*&k it, im putting it on OnlyFans.
He then introduced me to Patreon, a site that would better fit our goals.
Do you think it has potential?
If people want to continue seeing street skiing you oughta support the companies who currently support it.
Keegan:Got some great companies behind us here.
Anything else you want to mention?
Keegan:Pop over topatreon.com/slimtononeto see what were really about.
Hope ya like it, and thank you for taking your time to read this.
Its scary to take a new avenue like this with Patreon.
